Chapter 9: Countermeasures Forced Out
Sure enough, after getting the answer from Liang's mother, Liang's father looked at his three sons:
"It has been several days since we went out to sea. We will go out to sea early the day after tomorrow. In addition to the necessary rest, we will try to go out to sea every day.
The boat is small, and as usual, three people are enough. This month, the eldest and the third child will go out to sea with me.
Second brother, you stay home for now and continue to push the high-legged fishing net in the shallow sea!"
Liang Tiancheng felt that his father's assignment was natural and nodded in agreement immediately.
Although the third brother Liang Zifeng didn't like going out to sea, he had no objection and just nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
On the contrary, Liang Ziqiang broke out in cold sweat and his heartbeat became abnormal.
As planned, my father took my eldest brother and third brother out to sea.
And he was planning to go fishing almost every day in the near future! The only difference was that there were still ten days before the accident on August 26.
But now that life has started over again, who knows if the details would have changed, such as a boat capsizing at sea ten days earlier?
If that were the case, the three of them might be separated forever at any time during the next few days when they went out to sea!
This possibility not only exists, but is also very high. After all, the three brothers and father are going out to sea at the same time, just like in the previous life, everything seems to be destined!
Originally, Liang Ziqiang thought that he still had more than ten days to think of a way to slowly persuade his father to stop going out to sea.
But now he suddenly realized that he might not have that much time left to think!
"Dad! Why don't you wait a little longer before going out to sea? Why not go out within this month? I heard from the weather forecast that the recent weather seems to be a bit abnormal, and there may be strong winds and waves in the near future!"
In a hurry, Liang Ziqiang had no time to think about it, so he could only bring up the "weather forecast" and said anxiously.
Father Liang frowned.
You know, whenever the topic of going out to sea comes up, the villagers tend to be extra careful with their words and try not to mention anything like "strong winds and waves".
Liang Ziqiang's words made his father feel uncomfortable instinctively! "Forecast? Which forecast did you listen to? I listen to the village radio every day, and it always says the weather is normal. Aren't you listening to the same radio as us?"
Liang's father immediately asked his son unhappily.
"..." Liang Ziqiang was really stumped by the question.
I can't just say it out loud and say that I have experienced it in my previous life, right?
Even if he dared to say it, no one would believe it.
The only result is that he and Liang Lizhi will go from being siblings to being fellow patients.
But my father may have forgotten that weather forecasts are not omnipotent and often contain errors or omissions. For weather on the sea, it is even less accurate.
Take the time when my father had the accident in late August. The weather forecast at the time completely failed to anticipate the storm that was sweeping across the sea.
Because of this, my father was caught off guard and capsized in the sea.
Hearing his father's unquestionable tone, Liang Ziqiang immediately realized that it would not work to fool his father with the "weather forecast".
But the problem must be solved! If it really doesn't work, then we can only take a step back for the time being...
He quickly followed his father's words and changed his words:
"Is that so? I probably didn't listen carefully, missed a word, and got the meaning wrong!"
Liang's father's gloomy face looked better.
Liang Ziqiang immediately took the opportunity to say: "How can pushing a high-legged fishing net be as exciting as going out to sea? Besides, I think I still need to learn more about my own skills in going out to sea from you. Since the weather is good, just take me out to sea.
My elder brother has already learned it, and Afeng is still young, so he can take it slow. I will go with you this time, and I want to try and see how many fish we can catch together!"
His current idea was simple. If he could not dissuade his father in the next day or so, he might as well go out to sea instead of his elder brother and younger brother.
At least, I was alert in my heart and could persuade my father not to drive too far, or I could persuade him to return as soon as possible if the weather showed signs of being wrong.
In this way, there is still a chance to escape and avoid tragedy.
Of course, he also had a vague idea.
Even if tragedy inevitably happened, I could say it was a good deal if I could save the lives of my elder brother and younger brother...
Unexpectedly, his suggestion was ruthlessly rejected.
After finishing his porridge, Liang's father put his chopsticks on the table, obviously unhappy:
"Alright, alright, you have such a strong opinion, why don't you wait until you become the boss? It's such a simple matter, why do you have to argue with me?"
Liang Ziqiang still wanted to fight for it, but his father patted his butt, picked up the big bamboo tube and left.
For the whole next day, Liang Ziqiang didn't even have the heart to work.
It was the first time that he felt so truly that time was so urgent every minute and every second.
It's like the drumbeat of a countdown.
Every second that passes brings the moment when my father will go out to sea closer...
You can't just find a hammer and knock the three of them to the ground like you originally thought, right?
Or, Croton? Pull them until they can't get up? ...
No, it's useless to think about it. It's as if I really have croton.
Besides, it's one time to poop, and once you get better, you can go out to sea again. You can't give them three crotons every day.
Is there no truly reliable method? Wait! Am I overthinking this?
Just when Liang Ziqiang was racking his brains and was about to despair of himself, the simplest thought flashed through his mind.
Boat! Compared to some weird ideas like knocking someone unconscious or knocking him down, isn't it the simplest and most effective way to directly target that old boat? An idea slowly formed in his mind. Let's do it!
Now that I have made the decision, I feel a little relieved.
When Liang Ziqiang returned home after finishing his work in the evening, he took out all the traps in the house, dug up some earthworms as bait, then picked up the traps and went out.
"We need to set up so many nets today. When will this be completed? Can't we wait until after dinner?"
Liang's mother, who was busy making dinner, saw this and started nagging again.
"If we're any later, the tide will be high and we won't be able to release the food. Dad, you guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me!"
Liang Ziqiang specifically shouted to his father who was putting tobacco into a bamboo tube.
The latter exclaimed, feeling quite satisfied with his son's enthusiasm for catching fish in various ways all day long.
When he arrived at the beach, Liang Ziqiang first found some tidal ditches as usual and put the trap nets into them.
In each row of nets, some bait made of earthworms was thrown.
Just wait for the tide to rise, and the shrimps and crabs in the sea will be brought into the tidal ditch, where they will be easily attracted by the bait and enter the cage net.
It didn't take too long before all the traps we brought were put up.
Next, he just had to wait for the night to arrive! After all, the trap net was not the focus tonight, but just a cover for his actions.
In the second half of the night, he would get up earlier than everyone else, use the excuse of collecting the trap nets, and then sneak to the vicinity of his own old diesel boat.
Everything must be done without anyone noticing.
Otherwise, if his father knew that the disappearance of the small fishing boat was related to him, wouldn't he be skinned alive?! (End of this chapter)
